The Sukur Cultural Landscape is an astonishingly unharmed physical expression of a society and its spiritual and material culture. Sitting on one of its hills is the Palace of the Hidi (Chief); it overlooks the villages below, the terraced fields and their revered symbols, as well as the widespread remnants of a previously prosperous iron industry. --WHMNet paraphrase from the description at WHC Site, where additional information is available.

Sukur or Sukur Cultural Landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Northeastern part of Nigeria. It was designated one in 1999 because of its palace, terraced fields, and village, which remain intact. --Wikipedia. Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.
